                    Specifies a clipping plane.
                    The number of clipping planes depends on the implementation,
                    but at least six clipping planes are supported.
                    They are identified by symbolic names of the form <code class="constant">GL_CLIP_PLANE</code>
                    <math overflow="scroll"><mi mathvariant="italic">i</mi></math>
                    where i ranges from 0 to the value of <code class="constant">GL_MAX_CLIP_PLANES</code> - 1.
